Veenavaadhini students Jayash and Manash learn veena and vocal over the Internet. They were in Chennai this summer for one-to-one classes. They, along with their brother Ashwin Ramanathan (a violin student of Shri HN Bhaskar), performed in various places in and around Chennai, notable among them being the one under the auspices of Fifty-Fifty Club on August 7, 2009. They also presented a musical ensemble in Mysore on August 14th at the Veena Seshanna Bhavan.
Their programmes were very well received by the live audience as well as the press. Vadapalani Times, Sakshi (Telugu Newspaper, called it "Vadyatraya Sunaadam Sumadhuram") and Star of Mysore carried favourable reports on these young performers. Given below are links to some of the press reports.
